Help deciding which lens combo to keep for D600
5 months ago

Hi Guys,

I've made the leap to the D600 FX world recently and need help deciding which lens to keep.

The lenses I picked up are the 24-85 kit lens, 50mm 1.8g, and 85mm 1.8g primes.

All 3 serve different purposes, but my wallet begs that I return one of the them...

Which combo would be a smarter choice for the long run? I have a kid on the day so will be doing lots of portaites and outdoors shots and shooting video as well.

A) keep 85mm and 50mm, sell 24-85 on ebay for $400 bucks

B) keep kit lens and 50mm, return the 85mm prime

C) Keep kit lens and 85mm, return the 50mm prime

D) Convince myself that I need all 3, and keep the all

I really like how the 85mm prime makes photos looks super sharp, and I feel like the VR in the kit lens might come in handy...but not sure its worth 400 bucks just so I can get VR.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
